Power
The rated power of the device, in fact, is the power of the engine installed in it.
The higher this indicator, the more performant this model is, the more suitable for “heavy” work and the more applications can be provided in the design. For example, in the case of mixers (see “Appliance type”), a power of up to 250 W is considered good for liquid products; for more solid tasks, like kneading tough dough, you should pay attention to more powerful models. Detailed recommendations on optimal power can be found in special sources.
Note that powerful devices are usually equipped with more durable nozzles that can withstand high loads.
Capacities
Types of capacities that the device was originally equipped with.
In addition to
the main bowl, the package may include
a bowl for chopping,
a coffee grinder,
a measuring cup and a
travel shaker bowl. All of them are described in detail in this list, with the exception of the shaker — see a separate paragraph below about it.
— Main bowl. The main capacity of an appliance is called the general purpose bowl, and its design varies depending on the type of device. It can be a deep bowl for stand mixers, a jug with knives at the bottom for countertop blenders, or a chopper jar with removable knives for hand blenders and choppers. However, not all appliances come with a main bowl, and in some cases, users are expected to choose their own container.
— Bowl for chopping. Capacity with removable knives is an essential component for chopping products. This container is typically referred to as a grinding bowl, and when it's included in a grinder's delivery set, it's considered the main bowl. However, some devices have a grinding bowl as the main bowl, and knives are a necessary part of its structure.
— Grinder (for coffee). The coffee grinder container is specifically designed for grinding coffee, nuts, spices, sugar, and other products. It usually contains knives similar to th
...ose in blenders, but is distinguishable from the main blender container due to its much smaller volume.
— Measuring cup. The measuring capacity is a transparent glass with a scale that enables the user to measure specific volumes of liquid and bulk products. The accuracy of the scale may vary, but for regular use, it's typically sufficient.Weight
The weight in this section can be confusing, since manufacturers do not indicate the mass of the main working tools of the equipment. Accordingly, the greater the number of accessories in the kit, the greater the total weight and this parameter will be necessary only at the time of purchase in order to understand how many extra kilograms you will have to carry home.
